Quilt Block for school

Our son got a new teacher at his nursery school and she asked each kid to decorate a quilt block and bring it back in.

This of course is the homework project from heaven for a mommy like me, so I cut up a bunch of felt and went sorta nuts.

Wanted to keep it pretty simple and quick, but really enjoyed doing it, and hope that I measure up to the other crafty parents in the class.

Also, I alphabetized the sidebar on the right of my blog - finally - so you can find some very cool blogs over there. Most do some sort of sewing along with other crafty stuff. Of course my favorites are those that do some Japanese crafts.

I just discovered Kwoozy's blog - which has some very interesting 3D fruit softie pictures. I love to stuff things, maybe some fruit is in order. Yikes, so many projects, so little time.

"... so many projects, so little time..." I hear ya! It's just terrible. Hey, what if I play the lotto and win, then I will create a "Crafty Mother's Scholarship?" It will be a house-cleaning allowance to free-up time for wonderful women like yourself... ooh, I just love a good idea... LOL!

About Me

Otaku (おたく) means "nerd", so I'm a wanna be Japanese-quilting nerd. I'm not Japanese though, just an American looking for tidbits of Japanese quilting while living here in San Jose, California - USA. I also knit and spin - find me on Ravelry and Instagram as quiltotaku
